Standing Orders

No
business shall be transacted at the S.G.M. save that of debating and
ratifying the motion which was carried at the Co Op’s January committee
meeting.

A quorum for a general meeting of Barna Co-Op shall be 10 persons (in number) entitled to vote as members. (Rule 26).

The
proposer or seconder of any amendment to the motion shall be allowed
not more than 10 minutes and 3 minutes respectively in which to speak on
the motion or amendment thereto, and each succeeding speaker not more
than 3 minutes.

At any time during the discussion of the
motion, it shall be open to any member to move verbally that the
question of any further debate be now ‘at the discretion of the
chairman’. If the chairman so decides, s/he may recommend a vote on
termination of the discussion/debate. In this event, if, on a show of
hands it appears that a majority of members are in favour of terminating
the discussion, the original resolution shall then be voted on. No such
motion shall be moved unless an opportunity has been given for the
expression of both a pro and a contra view of the motion.

No
member shall be allowed to speak more than once on the motion, save by
way of giving additional information of any detail of the proposal.

The
motion shall be put to a vote. No recount shall be taken unless not
less than 10 members, as announced by the Chairman, challenge the vote.

Any
amendment to the motion, which is accepted by the Chairman, shall be
voted on before another amendment shall be taken. If the amendment is
rejected, the original motion stands before the house. If the amendment
is accepted, then the amended motion is now before the house.

A
motion to suspend the above S.G.M. standing orders must be submitted to
the Chairman in writing by the proposer and seconder 24 hours before
the commencement of the meeting. It shall specify the standing order or
orders to be suspended and the period of such suspension. It shall state
the reasons of importance and urgency justifying such suspension. The
Chairman shall put such motion to a vote of the meeting. The motion
shall not be adopted except with the consent of two thirds of the
members and voting at the meeting.
